As a platform for offline storage, tape media continues to deliver the lowest cost per gigabyte while maintaining a 30-year archival life, so that many companies continue to rely on it as a foundation for offline backup and archiving.

The latest LTO 6 technology features increased capacity (6.25 TB) and faster transfer rates (400 MB per second) for improved storage optimization. Imation's LTO 6 tape cartridges are available under the Imation and TDK Life on Record brands and can be used within any drive or system built for LTO 6 technology.

Imation and TDK Life on Record LTO 6 tape cartridges feature an advanced servo writing technology for precise alignment between drive head and data tracks;
Imation patented corner snap for data protection; and Imation patented three-piece tape spool, which distributes stress more evenly over the tape surface for better performance and longer archival life.
